Mbappé prepares for Inter: I feel the best player in the world and hope for Ballon d’Or

Kylian Mbappé, the Real Madrid star, is preparing for an upcoming Champions League match against defending Serie A champions Inter at the Bernabéu. The Frenchman believes this is a "good year" for him to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or award, as he aims to secure the title. At a press conference, Mbappé expressed his determination to play with intensity at the Bernabéu and emphasized the significance of the Champions League.

While he acknowledges the fans' expectations, he noted that the club's prestige will provide him with motivation. Regarding the tension between him and Real Madrid teammate Vinicius Junior, Mbappé stated that he doesn't know the specifics and that both players share the common goal of winning titles for their club. With no prior Ballon d’Or victories, Mbappé hopes that his incredible World Cup performance this summer, including setting a record with 22 goals, will impress the voting journalists.

He emphasized that his role at both Inter and Real Madrid requires adaptability, as he serves as captain in one team while not holding the position in the other. To improve his game, Mbappé has worked with various coaches, emphasizing the importance of managing his emotions and enhancing his perception of the game.
